Book du jour

These pages, destined for japanese binding, have writing on the inside (not worth reading!). I stamped a dozen or so with black and red ink, and then machine stitched (no thread) with lines of straight stitch and areas of wide open zigzag -Under the pictures - what to do about "text" ? Tidy machine stitching, or loose ends all over the place?
Bursts of hand-stitch among the pierced lines ... to resemble words perhaps?

It needs to rest overnight ... decision in the morning ...
